Why because I really don't care about privacy. I don't need to hide me, and hate too much those temporary things. My taste, ok :-)

If it's reproducible, I'll open a bug for that.
Well, that's the typical problem with sysconfig. Distro default values are set in the config file explictly instead of using a fallback if empty. So a program can't know whether the setting is the distro default or whether the admin set or left it that way intentionally. There also was no setting for "don't care" before. So when the conversion script sees "no" it just assumes the setting is at it's default value and doesn't disable IPv6 privacy explictly.
Just add net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 0 manually to /etc/sysctl.conf.

Hi Ludwig, I understand the trouble of upgrade/migrate things Perharps you could just a comment in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl.rpmsave & /etc/sysctl.conf ### converted from /etc/sysconfig/sysctl at Tue, 31 May 2011 06:16:19 +0200 ### SuSE default come now from /lib/sysctl.d/ So any user looking about it's default distro configuration know that it's stored in /lib/sysctl.d Sound that good for you ? -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
